Know just what you mean. I get the start of a paragraph then there’s a blank space and I get the last sentence or two. I’m just in a daze as to what was really said. Like your slow down button idea. I could use one too.

This is an interesting topic. People have mentioned to me before that I talk slooooowwwww. Since I’ve been HH/deaf for so long I wonder if that isn’t a subconscious adjustment on my part to get everyone else to slooowww down. There are some people who when they get to talking, they speak in paragraphs instead of sentences. By the time you ask for a repeat, they’ve forgotten what they said one minute ago. Glad to hear the HA’s are working out better than the last pair.

I understand the situations. I have only had one aid now for a month and while the volume is great, the perception is still lacking. I also though need a slow down button, but for myself! I get to going, and no one can understand me! *smile*
